Personally, I think as in the past tragedies we’ve seen, nothing will be done. I think the laws/rules need to be tweaked, sure isn’t working as it is.
IMO no, who knows, but what kind of laws could have prevented this terrible sad event.

I'm pretty doubtful that any law would have prevented what happened in Las Vegas where there was a perfect storm convergence between someone with a resentment or maybe a mental health issue and a large penned-in outdoor crowd of victims.
It's obvious we're not ever going to see gun control legislation because the gun lobby is far too powerful....
Wouldn't it be a slap in the FDA's face if we were to find out one day that some food additive or widely used crop insecticide was causing people to become homicidal-suicidal?
No laws will prevent criminals and lunatics from acquiring weapons...it would just make it a little bit harder to do so, but they will still find ways to steal, or import weapons.
The whole gun control thing was focused on big time after Newtown. Nothing happened then, and nothing will happen now. There need to be regulations somewhere, but it is not just guns. Like someone said, Boston had pipe bombs, Oklahoma city was a truck packed with a fertilizer bomb. The 9/11 terrorists used knives, and the planes themselves.
There needs to be bipartisan support in Washington before anything gets done. And that will never happen.
What will happen now is that innocent people will be inconvenienced as they are when they book flights.
You might see scanners in hotels. You won't be able to bring anything in with you to a concert.
You won't see too many outside venues with crowds.
Things of that nature.
I think they already check bags and backpacks at concerts and certain venues...don't they?
It was at a concert in LV when TSHTF ! Maybe having "concerts" in theatres with comfortable cushioned seats may discourage the killing
by these misfits.
I'd rather sit there than in a mosh pit.
The gun control debate is so toxic there's no point talking about it.

On top of that there is a serious lack of imagination to even think that things could be made better.
